[comp.unix.aux] problems with drive partitioning

stoms@castor.ncgia.ucsb.edu (David Stoms) (08/13/90)

I'm trying to install A/UX 2.0 on a 140MB CMS drive. Natually, the CMS
driver doesn't support A/UX so I've been trying other drivers. Silver-
lining didn't seem to like my drive and the Apple SC HD program doesn't
recognize it. There is a way to hack the Apple program into thinking
my drive is an Apple drive, right?

Should I try partitioning with the Apple program (if I get it working)
or try to persuade Silverlining to accept the drive? How safe is
it to mix and match drives and drivers? Is there anything else to try
if neither of these programs can bully my drive into shape?

Josh.

Thanks for your suggestions, but, as with many problems of this variety,
I figure them out just after I post. I just tried the partitioning
again and didn't mess with anything and it worked. It's almost as if
posting the message made me think through the whole process again and
figure out where the problems might have occured.
